Sonia was talking on the cordless when she heard a thud that shook the ground for a moment. She lied down flat on the ground as a precautionary measure before she got up to check what exactly has happened. She realised that she hasn't disconnected the call yet, she picked up the receiver and spoke into it " Hey Sam, situation here is not very favourable. I don't want you to visit during this time, I will talk to you soon" .


Sonia made a drink for herself and then walked to the garden and sat down on the tan bed. It is a cold winter night and the moon rays are gleaming in the open swimming pool in the garden. Sonia is a 28 year old woman, tall and wheatish possessing a smile that could attract anyone. She is one of the most sought after socialites in Hillway and owns about half of the city's property. She was 21 when she married her high school love in one of the most talked about weddings of the era. It was not more than two months post wedding that her husband Mark met with a horrible accident that took away his life. Ever since, Sonia was taking care of Mark's business which deals with manufacturing and marketing aircraft parts.

Her confidante in personal and business life is Sam. Sam and Mark were the best of friends in school and no one could ever compete with them in anything. That is when Sonia joined the high school and had a tiff with Mark. Their little fights led path to their love and then marriage. Sam was very supportive and helped them when they had to walk out of their homes to get married against their parents' wishes. Mark and Sam started the company as they graduated and named it "Whizz". Everything went fine till one day Mark decided to drive down to the town to discuss a deal with a client. He never returned after that. Sonia was told by the cops that they found his body along with the car crashed into a tree.
